Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gum-based candy production technology, and particularly relates to temperature and environmental control equipment for chewing gum gum base. Background Technology

[0002] Gum base is a key ingredient widely used in chewing gum, bubble gum, and other chewable candies. It is the most basic chewing substance in chewing gum and bubble gum, giving these candies foaming, plasticizing, and chewing-resistant properties. It is a non-nutritive, indigestible, poorly absorbed, and insoluble in water-easily chewable solid with strong viscosity and difficult digestibility. As people's pursuit of health and taste continues to increase, the production and application of gum base substances are also constantly innovating and developing.

[0003] Currently, during the cooling and molding process of chewing gum, the gum contains a lot of moisture. During the molding process, the temperature is cooled from a high temperature to a lower temperature, which generates a large amount of moisture. The accumulation of moisture in the cooling chamber may affect the quality and molding of the candy. Furthermore, excessive moisture can easily cause the chewing gum to mold and spoil, thus affecting the taste and shelf life. Therefore, a temperature and environmental control device for chewing gum is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a temperature and environmental control device for chewing gum base, which has advantages such as preventing moisture accumulation inside the chamber from affecting the quality of gum base molding and preventing mold and deterioration. It solves the problems pointed out in the aforementioned comparative documents that moisture accumulation in the cooling chamber may affect the quality and molding of the candy, and that excessive moisture can easily lead to mold and deterioration of the gum base candy, thereby affecting the taste and shelf life.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a temperature and environmental control device for chewing gum base, comprising a housing, a guide rail fixedly installed inside the housing, a support assembly slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail, a forming groove provided at the top of the support assembly, a pushing device fixedly connected to the bottom of the support assembly, a top air box fixedly connected to the top of the housing, a driving device provided on the surface of the top air box, a displacement mechanism threadedly connected to the output end of the driving device, an exhaust fan fixedly connected to the inner wall of the displacement mechanism, a sealing door hinged to the outer surface of the housing, and an air duct opened at the top of the top air box.

[0006] The above solution connects the bottom of the support component to the output of the pushing device. When the pushing device is activated, it generates a pushing and pulling force to drive the support component to slide along the inner wall of the guide rail. This allows the molding tank to automatically feed material into the interior of the housing. After the drive device is activated, it provides displacement driving force to the displacement mechanism, causing the exhaust fan to move longitudinally inside the housing and simultaneously drive airflow above the molding tank. This allows the moisture emitted from the rubber base to be cooled inside the molding tank to gradually rise. Combined with the air duct at the top of the top air box, the moisture is gradually discharged, preventing moisture from accumulating inside the housing and affecting the molding quality of the rubber base, thus avoiding mold and deterioration.

[0007] Furthermore, the guide rails are provided in two sets, and the support assembly includes a support column. A top support seat is fixedly installed on the top of the support column, and several limiting strips are fixedly connected to the top of the top support seat.

[0008] The above solution provides a balanced sliding space and support effect for the support column by setting two sets of guide rails inside the box, allowing the support column to move the top support seat flexibly. In addition, the setting of the limit strip can provide a limit and anti-shaking situation for the forming groove, making it more convenient to load and unload materials from the forming groove.

[0009] Furthermore, a connecting sleeve plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top support, and several ventilation slots are opened at the top of the top support. The pushing device is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve plate.

[0010] The above scheme connects the output end of the pushing device to the connecting sleeve plate. When the pushing device is activated, its output end drives the connecting sleeve plate to move, thereby causing the support slide column at the bottom of the top support to slide and provide displacement driving force. Combined with the setting of the ventilation groove, it can provide auxiliary ventilation effect for the molding groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the driving device includes a drive motor, and a threaded shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor. The threaded shaft passes through the interior of the top wind box and is threadedly connected to the displacement mechanism.

[0012] The above scheme uses a drive motor to rotate the threaded shaft, which in turn drives the displacement mechanism to move along the bottom of the top air box, thus providing displacement driving force for the exhaust fan.

[0013] Furthermore, the displacement mechanism includes a displacement frame, with limiting plates symmetrically arranged on the top of the displacement frame, and a limiting rod fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top air box. The limiting plate is slidably connected to the outside of the limiting rod, and the displacement frame is threaded through and threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded shaft. The displacement frame is fixedly connected to the exhaust fan.

[0014] The above solution involves starting a drive motor and using a threaded shaft to move a displacement frame, which in turn moves a bottom exhaust fan. Simultaneously, the exhaust fan generates airflow that circulates moisture inside the housing, which is then expelled through air ducts. A limiting plate and a limiting rod provide movement limits for the displacement frame. This allows the exhaust fan to move back and forth above the housing while generating airflow, improving moisture removal efficiency.

[0015] Furthermore, the pushing device includes a pushing cylinder, and the output end of the pushing cylinder is provided with a telescopic shaft, which is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve plate.

[0016] With the above scheme, when the push cylinder is activated, it drives the telescopic shaft to extend or retract, thereby pushing or pulling the connecting sleeve plate to move, which in turn drives the support slide column to slide on the inner wall of the guide rail, making the feeding and unloading of materials in the forming groove at the top of the top support more convenient and efficient.

[0017] Furthermore, a transparent door is provided on the outer surface of the sealed door, and an extension rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sealed door.

[0018] The above solution allows operators to easily observe the internal operation of the enclosure through a transparent door, while the extension rod assists in opening the sealed door.

[0019] Furthermore, the number of air ducts is set in several groups, and the several groups of air ducts are evenly distributed at the top center of the top air box.

[0020] The above scheme uses several evenly distributed air ducts in conjunction with exhaust fans to provide multiple flow channels for moisture discharge, thereby increasing the efficiency of moisture discharge.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] This chewing gum base temperature and environmental control equipment connects the bottom of the support component to the output end of the pushing device. When the pushing device is activated, it generates a pushing and pulling force, causing the support component to slide along the inner wall of the guide rail. This allows the forming tank to automatically feed material into the interior of the box. After the drive device is activated, it provides displacement driving force to the displacement mechanism, causing the exhaust fan to move longitudinally inside the box and simultaneously drive airflow above the forming tank. This allows the moisture emitted from the gum base to be cooled inside the forming tank to gradually rise. Combined with the air duct at the top of the top air box, the moisture is gradually discharged, preventing moisture from accumulating inside the box and affecting the gum base forming quality, thus avoiding mold and deterioration.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The chewing gum base temperature and environmental control device in this embodiment includes a housing 1. A guide rail 2 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1. A support component 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail 2. A forming groove 4 is provided on the top of the support component 3. A pushing device 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support component 3. A top air box 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. A driving device 11 is provided on the surface of the top air box 6. A displacement mechanism 7 is threadedly connected to the output end of the driving device 11. An exhaust fan 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the displacement mechanism 7. A sealing door 9 is hinged to the outer surface of the housing 1. An air duct 10 is opened on the top of the top air box 6.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5The guide rails 2 are provided in two sets. The support assembly 3 includes a support column 301. A top support seat 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the support column 301. Several limiting strips 303 are fixedly connected to the top of the top support seat 302. A connecting sleeve plate 304 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the top support seat 302. Several ventilation slots 305 are opened on the top of the top support seat 302. The pushing device 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve plate 304. By setting two sets of guide rails 2 inside the housing 1, a balanced sliding space and support effect can be provided for the support column 301, so that the support... The sliding column 301 can drive the top support 302 to move flexibly, and the setting of the limiting strip 303 can provide a limiting and anti-shaking situation for the forming groove 4, making it more convenient to load and unload materials into the forming groove 4. By connecting the output end of the pushing device 5 to the connecting sleeve 304, when the pushing device 5 is started, its output end drives the connecting sleeve 304 to move, thereby driving the supporting sliding column 301 at the bottom of the top support 302 to slide and displace, thus providing displacement driving force. The setting of the ventilation groove 305 can provide an auxiliary ventilation effect for the forming groove 4.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The driving device 11 includes a drive motor 1101. A threaded shaft 1102 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 1101. The threaded shaft 1102 passes through the interior of the top air box 6 and is threadedly connected to the displacement mechanism 7. The displacement mechanism 7 includes a displacement frame 701. Limiting plates 702 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the displacement frame 701. A limiting rod 12 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the top air box 6. The limiting plate 702 is slidably connected to the outside of the limiting rod 12. The displacement frame 701 passes through and is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded shaft 1102. Fixedly connected to the exhaust fan 8, the displacement frame 701 is moved by starting the drive motor 1101 in conjunction with the threaded shaft 1102, thereby moving the exhaust fan 8 at the bottom. At the same time, after the exhaust fan 8 is started, the airflow generated drives the moisture inside the box 1 to flow and is discharged in conjunction with the air duct 10. The limiting plate 702 and the limiting rod 12 provide a movement limiting effect for the displacement frame 701. This allows the exhaust fan 8 to move back and forth above the box 1 while generating airflow, improving the efficiency of moisture discharge.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 The pushing device 5 includes a pushing cylinder 501. The output end of the pushing cylinder 501 is provided with a telescopic shaft 502. The telescopic shaft 502 is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve plate 304. When the pushing cylinder 501 is started, it drives the telescopic shaft 502 to extend or retract, so as to push or pull the connecting sleeve plate 304 to move, thereby driving the support slide column 301 to slide on the inner wall of the guide slide rail 2, making it more convenient and efficient to feed and unload materials from the forming groove 4 at the top of the top support seat 302.

[0034] In this embodiment, the chewing gum base temperature and environmental control equipment provides a balanced sliding space and support effect for the support column 301 through the guide rail 2, allowing the support column 301 to drive the top support seat 302 to move flexibly. Furthermore, the limiting strip 303 provides a limiting and anti-shaking effect for the forming groove 4. Combined with the push cylinder 501 and telescopic shaft 502 pushing or pulling the connecting sleeve 304 to move, the support column 301 slides on the inner wall of the guide rail 2, making the feeding and unloading of material into the forming groove 4 at the top of the top support seat 302 more convenient. The system is efficient and efficient. The drive motor 1101 drives the threaded shaft 1102 to rotate, which in turn moves the displacement frame 701, indirectly providing displacement driving force for the exhaust fan 8. At the same time, after the exhaust fan 8 is started, it generates airflow, which drives the moisture inside the housing 1 to flow and is discharged in conjunction with the air duct 10. The limiting plate 702 and the limiting rod 12 provide a movement limiting effect for the displacement frame 701. As a result, the exhaust fan 8 can move back and forth above the housing 1 while generating airflow, which improves the efficiency of moisture discharge and avoids moisture accumulation that affects the molding quality of the adhesive base.

[0035] It should be noted that...

[0036] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0037] By setting two sets of guide rails 2 inside the housing 1 to provide balanced sliding space for the support slide column 301, when the push cylinder 501 is started, it drives the telescopic shaft 502 to extend and retract, thereby pulling the connecting sleeve plate 304 to move, and thus driving the support slide column 301 to slide on the inner wall of the guide rail 2, so that the forming groove 4 is driven to the inside of the housing 1 from the top of the top support 302. By starting the drive motor 1101 and cooperating with the threaded shaft 1102 to drive the displacement frame 701 to move, it provides displacement driving force, thereby driving the bottom exhaust fan 8 to move. At the same time, after the exhaust fan 8 is started, it generates airflow to drive the moisture inside the housing 1 to flow, and cooperates with the air duct 10 to discharge it.
